buying blown 240sx, what to look for?

I'm thinking about buying a 240 SX with a SR20det. BTW the dealer is nearly 300 miles away from home so I just can't continually go back in for problems, and I imagine honoring any extended warranty would be a problem too. I'm not Nissan nor JDM nor turbo savvy, so when I go look at these cars what should I look for? What questions should I ask the dealer? And what concerns should I have? Thx

No, but I'd be interested in that (can I get a little help).
There are two in Tampa. Gold, '95, at XAT racing. One has a gawd awful kit

sr20dets are pretty low maitenance, i'd check for any oil leaks and boost leaks mainly after the turbo(turbo elbow) as long as it idles good, full boosts and not studdering or hesitation problems it should be fine....stock boost on the sr is 7psi. should full boost around 4grand on wot..remember first gear doesnt full boost. i used to have a s13 with a redtop sr, so im just telling you from my experience with it.... just tryina help out! ohyeah and goodluck with your s14!! with and open diff,lsd you'll do magic with it with some practice of course! enjoy

the stock smic which is very small compared to any fmic worked perfectly fine, even with upped boost, that fmic right there should work very efficiently.
